Ingredients

250 g white self-raising flour
1 tsp caster sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
250 g fat-free natural yoghurt
low-calorie cooking spray (for greasing)
100 g passata
1 tbsp tomato puree
pinch of mild chilli powder
1/4 tsp garlic granules
80 g Gouda cheese (finely grated)
3 spring onions (trimmed and sliced)
1 small red chilli (deseeded and finely chopped)
1 tbsp ready-made sweet chilli sauce
5 g fresh coriander leaves (stalks removed and roughly chopped)
salt and black pepper (to taste)

Method

Sift the self-raising flour, caster sugar, salt and baking powder into a large bowl. Create a hollow in the middle and pour in the yoghurt. Use your fingers to slowly incorporate the flour into the yoghurt until a soft dough ball forms.
Transfer the dough to a surface dusted with flour and knead thoroughly for 5 minutes until it becomes smooth. Lightly coat a large bowl with low-calorie spray. Put the dough inside, cover it with a plate.
Leave the covered dough in a warm spot for about 45 minutes, until it has risen a little and feels puffy to the touch. Begin heating your oven to 200°C.
Tip the dough onto a floured surface and roll it into a 28cm circle. Prepare a large baking tray with non-stick paper. Lay the rolled dough onto the lined tray.
Combine the passata, tomato puree, mild chilli powder and garlic granules in a small bowl. Add salt and black pepper to season, then stir thoroughly. Spoon this mixture over the pizza base, spreading it out and leaving a 1cm border.
Evenly distribute the finely grated Gouda cheese over the sauce. Top with the sliced spring onions and chopped red chilli. Bake in the hot oven for 10-12 minutes until the top is golden.
Take the pizza from the oven and drizzle the ready-made sweet chilli sauce over it. Scatter the roughly chopped coriander leaves on top, slice into 10 pieces and serve immediately. It pairs well with a fresh mixed salad.
